    Ugly.  Annoying.  This describes most frames interfaces.  I'm not
    religious against frames.  They're actually a good idea, or would have
    been if they weren't such a half-assed glommed-on extension to
    Nutscape.

    using server-push to keep the connection open also does not really
    work -- the connection eventually dies.  And forms really don't work
    well as an input device.

    My recommendation would be to talk to Andy Wilson and work on creating
    widgets for tkmoo, a client running under tk/tcl.  He goes by the name
    Networker on JHM.  tk/tcl is freely available from SunSoft for most
    platforms including Windows 3.1 with win32s, Win95/NT, Mac, and source
    for UNIX.
